Craig Craig Craig, my boy

Sorry to say this but you might have put your foot in you mouth here. Please get your facts right before you start pointing fingers and blaming others.

Mike Corey was not the one that made the decision and he is NOT the president. He was. The decision was made by the Board of Directors which were elected by us users. By the way are you an IOUG-A member? If not what is your beef? Is so, did you take part in the election? You should trust those that are entrusted with the authority and responsibility of the IOUG-A.

Eventhough I get quite a lot of 'inside' information on both sides, I will not openly, directly and stupidly go out of my way to say IT IS SO AND SO's fault. But I will openly convey my support for IOUG-A. I believe they have done a tremendous job in the last few years not only for the Americas by for the Asia-Pacific region as well. (Possibly Europe).

I honestly would like to know where you are coming from.
